Start your journey at Praça do Comércio, a grand plaza overlooking the azure waters of the Tagus river, once the gateway for ships during the Age of Discovery.
Venture through the city center constructed in the 18th century, post the devastating earthquake of 1755.
Ascend the sloping terrain to reach iconic elevated landmarks such as the Estrela basilica. Uncover the rich cultural backdrop of Bairro Alto and Chiado, the hub of coffee houses and museums that gained fame from its congregation of artists, journalists, and poets.
Navigate the maze-like lanes of Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest district, teeming with remnants of Roman architecture, Arabic influences, and rich elements that inked the Fado songs, the majestic 12th century Cathedral, and the towering St. Georges Castle.
There’s an abundance of attractions to uncover on this vintage tram, an iconic part of Lisbon’s landscape since the 19th century. Are you prepared to get onboard?

A great day to get a taste of Lisbon - Really enjoyable trip around the key parts of the city. Informative commentary. A great introduction to a new city for us and travelling on a piece of history too.

An absolute must, if you do nothing else do this! - It was an excellent tour and the commentary very informative. The driver was super friendly and was happy to answer any questions, even if they were rated to things other than the tram tour!

100% recommend! - Getting to know Lisbon aboard the tram is a charming way to get to know the city. The charm of the tram, carefully restored to preserve its original characteristics, is fascinating in itself. The staff is friendly and has technical knowledge about the tram, providing valuable information along the route. I recommend this fantastic experience for a unique immersion in Lisbon!

Back to the present! - The Lisbon tram is not just an attraction for tourists! These wagons from another age work very well and allow you to discover these typical old neighborhoods while wandering a little in the narrow streets of old Lisbon. Line 28 of course, to be done at least once.

Worst experience in Lisbon! - This was the worst experience I ever had. Overpriced and a real waste of time. AVOID! We were going up and down in the same areas.
